ADemand for yyoodenwaro,

was told story of ''down easter's''
mode of creating demand for a supply
which, amid all the ingenuities of modern
commerce, may fairly claim originality.
One of the class called s'hickory dealer, -
or seller of woodenware, came down to
the south in the summer time with well
laden wagon, but was destined to en-
counter a sweeping opposition in the
yellow fever, which had commenced bust
ness about week previous in such O way
that the only woodenware in reQuisitiOn
was coffin. The ravages of the plague
were at this time so dreadful that it will be
supposed there was general tendency to
try the most desperate and absurd eXpedi-
ents to avert it, though many such proved
but pioneers to it's progress. This the
peddler was aware of, so resolved, as re-
garded his own fortune, to extract good
from evil. Dressing himself as respect
ably as possible, he mounted his horse and
rode up to printing Office in Williams
burg, where, under an assumed name,
he had 100 bills struck off to this effect:
WANTED-Immediatel woodenware in any
quantity, for the fever hospital in Philadelphia,
such being found not to convey the infection. By
order of the board Of health. SETH ADAMS. N. B,

Fifty of these placards he sent his boy
to stick round the streets of a village lying
in his road where the fever had begun to
show itself. A discovery so important,
SO simple, and apparently in such close
connection with remedy, created an in
slant sensation. The doom of crockery
was pronounced. Jugs, bowls, basins,
teapots and other utensils most esteemed
or necessary were hurled out of the win
dows in showers. No grandmother gift,
no ancestors relic, survived this fall OF
china; the streets soon looked like pot
terry after an earthquake. About noon,
when the work of destruction was at its
height, a wagon made its way into the
village with q man vociferating with all
the power of his lungs: "Woodenwarev
His arrival was hailed as godsend; a
crowd collected around him as to magi-

Many of the old-timers in the Re-
publican party of Minnesota haye be-
come immensely rich and the people
strongly suspect them of having used
their political influence in the adj
vancement of selfish financial inter-
ests to the detriment of the state at
large. The prominence of such fell
lows is what ails the Republican ma
jority in the last campaign and their
continued prominence will result in
making future majorities expressible

and better material must be pushed
to the front and these wealthy old

Horses at hard work need special

The country lad who is trained to
simple ways and homely virtues, and
who learns what q dollar is worth
by actually earning it under the laws
Of imperative necessity, has a ire
mendous advantage over the towh
boy. The country schools are far in
ferior to the town Or city schools,
but this is counter-balanced by the
fact that the country boy is trained
to work from the time he can pick up
corncobs to run the kitchen stove,
till he goes out to his own home. The
country boy has mile or so OF walk
to and from school, which gives him
vigorous appetite and health. The
cauntry boy or girl is face to face with
practical realities. He sees how
slowly money is made on the farm !;
he is taught from youth up the need
of economy; he has the nature of saw
ing first explained to him every day
in the week; he is not exposed to the
